About us

About us

"We believe that if you approach others with empathy and a desire to collaborate, you can build stronger, more positive relationships. Instead of focusing on differences or problems, let's work together to find solutions."

Independent Theater Hungary has been operating since 2007. Our primary goal is to initiate dialogue about societal issues that affect us all, emphasizing the role we can play in creating positive change.

We don't care who you are or where you come from; what matters is your perspective on the world and your actions. We strive to create a more just and open society where everyone, regardless of their background, can contribute.

We work towards this goal through our arts and education programs.

Our mission

Our mission is to empower disadvantaged Roma and non-Roma youth to become successful artists, trainers, and professionals in various fields, as well as active citizens. We aim to foster understanding and acceptance between different groups and create a space where everyone can contribute to building a better society. We also strive to make culture accessible to those who have limited access to it, enabling them to become active citizens. We want to create meaningful and authentic works of art that reflect contemporary society.

Through our educational projects, we aim to introduce as many people as possible to the richness and diversity of Roma theater, exploring its various genres, themes, and perspectives.

Our goals

Create artistic works that address social challenges.
Educate and support disadvantaged youth to become successful professionals and active citizens.
Promote cultural, educational, and economic integration.

To achieve our mission, we work on innovative, people-centered arts initiatives that respond to social issues and involve disadvantaged individuals.
